1 Why? Control of Sugar Levels What hormones are involved in the homeostasis of blood sugar? All living things use as a source of energy. In vertebrates it is critical that the levels of in the blood are consistent. Small fluctuations are fine, but if the concentration in the blood gets too high, a coma could result. If the concentration in the blood gets too low, the person could experience seizures, go into a coma or die. In humans, hormone levels help regulate the concentration in the blood and keep us in homeostasis. Model 1 Hormonal Control of Glucose Relative Concentration in the Insulin Glucagon Glucose Glucose baseline Insulin baseline Glucagon baseline Meal Eaten Time 1. The relative blood concentrations of which three molecules are recorded in the graph of Model 1? 2. Which molecule from Model 1 is found in the blood at the highest concentrations? 3. Why do cells need? 4. According to the graph in Model 1, what happens to blood levels after a meal has been eaten? Control of Sugar Levels 1
2 5. Refer to Model 1. a. As blood levels increase above baseline, the level of which hormone also increases? b. As blood levels begin to drop below baseline, the concentration of which hormone increases? c. As blood returns to its baseline level, what happens to the levels of insulin and glucagon in the blood? Model 2 Feedback Control of Glucose Pancreas Storage Liver Used Other cells is too high. Cycle A drops. rises. Baseline blood level. Cycle B is too low. Glucose Insulin Glycogen Glucagon Liver Release Pancreas 2 POGIL Activities for AP* Biology
3 6. According to Model 2, what are three of the organs/tissues of the body that interact to regulate blood levels? 7. According to Model 2, where in the body do the insulin and glucagon originate? 8. Refer to Model 2. a. What shape in the model represents? b. Describe how glycogen is related to. c. Which form of sugar, or glycogen is stored in the liver for future use? Read This! Most cells in the body have insulin receptors. When insulin is present, the transfer of into cells increases. This takes the out of the bloodstream and puts it where it can be used, or in some cases stores it as glycogen. The glycogen can be converted back into when it is needed. But glycogen cannot be used by cells directly as an energy source. Excess that remains in the blood gets excreted out in urine. 9. Refer to Model 2. a. In which cycle is removed from the blood by storing it or moving it into cells to use for fuel? b. Which hormone, insulin or glucagon, helps move into cells of the body? c. In which cycle is added to the blood from storage areas? d. Which hormone, insulin or glucagon, helps turn glycogen into? Control of Sugar Levels 3
4 10. In grammatically correct sentences, explain the role of insulin in maintaining levels after a large meal. 11. In grammatically correct sentences, explain the role of glucagon in maintaining levels when the organism is hungry. 12. For each of the cycles in Model 2 identify the stimulus and response for the feedback loops and indicate whether the feedback loop is positive or negative feedback. Cycle A Cycle B Stimulus Response Positive or Negative? 13. Predict the levels of, glucagon, and insulin in a person who has: a. Skipped a meal. b. Just run 5 miles. c. Just ate a large dinner. 4 POGIL Activities for AP* Biology
5 Extension Questions 14. In the past, diabetes mellitis was diagnosed by tasting the urine of the patient. What evidence for diabetes were the doctors looking for? 15. In Type I diabetes, the Beta cells of the pancreas produce little to no insulin. What effect does this have on an organism s ability to regulate blood levels? 16. Type I diabetics must eat frequent small meals. Explain why this is necessary using what you have learned about blood regulation. 17. Other symptoms of Type I diabetes are increased thirst and frequent urination. Explain these symptoms using what you have learned in this activity as well as your knowledge of osmosis and diffusion. 18. Type II diabetes shares many of the same symptoms as Type I diabetes. Using your textbook and/ or a computer, research the cause of this type of diabetes. Control of Sugar Levels 5
